The glowing material is molten glass. She gathers really hot glass onto pipe and makes drawings on paper. Paper that she uses is extremely thick, almost like a slice of plywood, so surprisingly it doesn't get burnt so easily.

Pyrography means "writing with fire" and is the traditional art of using a heated tip or wire to burn or scorch designs onto natural materials such as wood or leather. Burning can be done by means of a modern solid-point tool (similar to a soldering iron) or hot wire tool, or a more basic method using a metal implement heated in a fire, or even sunlight concentrated with a magnifying lens.
